Workshops

Workshops are the reasons a lot of people go to BJC.

When your doing pre-reg if you ask on the form if anyone is willing to do a workshop you should create a decent list before BJC even starts. Your Workshop co-ordinator should also be shown the pre-reg data and call/email those people that they know will do workshops as well.

BJC 2010 rewarded workshop leaders with volunteer badges.

Workshops can run themselves if you leave some big blank schedules up, but it is far better to plan plenty of them in advance, and advertise them publicly if you can.

BJC 2008 wrote it into the contracts of all performers that they should do at least one workshop.

BJC 2008 also had a good few workshops on aspects of performance... how to build an act, how to deal with artist contracts, and so forth. These seemed to go down well.
